Auto repair shops are about as much fun as going to the dentist. However, many shops today are taking the pain out of the process. Most repair shops offer coffee while you are waiting, and with scheduled appointments at times that suit your schedule, you don’t have to take a day off work to have your car repaired. Some shops are even open on Saturdays.

Many auto repair shops offer prevention and maintenance packages. These packages can include a look at the engine, transmission, brakes, steering, lights, and starter. As well, most packages will include topping up fluids; washer, anti-freeze, transmission fluid, power steering and an oil and filter change. Other items that may be checked on a maintenance check are belts, hoses, battery and water pump.

Anyone who has read up on garage floor paints will tell you that, if nothing else, one consistency in the directions of all epoxy garage floor coatings is that the floor must be very, very clean. Opinions vary on if existing paint should be stripped down to the concrete or merely cleaned up and free of contaminants, although the safest way would probably be to always strip any existing paint. In this article, we’ll cover how to clean your garage in preparation for an epoxy garage floor coating. Although there is nothing here that will damage your floor in any way, you will want to check the directions for your particular garage floor epoxy kit to be sure that there are no additional steps in order to successfully apply the epoxy garage floor coating.

Men like their garages and often times their wives let them have free run of them. While the wife gets many of the rooms inside the house, the garage is the mans place with which to do anything they like.

If you are one of these guys, you might be considering some garage floor ideas because if you can personalize the floor, it can really take your garage up to the next level. I have seen garages where the favorite sports team logo is painted over the entire garage floor and the whole garage is a shrine to that sports team.

A great question that I get asked on a regular basis. But to make this little game of hide and seek as stress-free as possible, I’m going to point you to 3 simple areas. Your car, your owners manual, and a great online resource to find not only the stock plug for your car, but every other spark plug that is available.

If I had my way, there would be a sticker under the hood of all vehicles that lists the OE part numbers of every major component - light bulbs and paint color included. While we’re at it, if every car purchase included a handy little mechanic, I certainly wouldn’t complain. But since we don’t live in Utopia, we have to go hunting for this stuff.
